The parents of a 12-year-old boy on life support have lost an appeal to continue treatment.
Archie Battersbee was found unconscious at home in Southend, Essex, on 7 April and doctors at the Royal London Hospital believe he is brain dead.
Court of Appeal judges were asked to postpone their ruling as Archie's father, Paul Battersbee, had been taken ill outside court, but they refused.
The judges said it was in Archie's best interest to give a judgement today.
He has not regained consciousness since his mother Hollie Dance found him. She believes he had been taking part in an online challenge.
Ms Dance also wanted appeal judges to adjourn their ruling on the basis that she had witnessed indications that Archie, who is attached to a ventilator, had twice tried to breathe for himself in the last few days.
Barts Health NHS Trust, which runs the hospital in Whitechapel in east London, had taken the case to the courts to get a ruling on what was in Archie's best interests.
Judges in two separate High Court hearings had previously ruled against his parents, who wanted treatment to continue while his heart was still beating.
In the court's ruling, Sir Andrew said medical staff had seen "no signs of life" in Archie and his "every bodily function is now maintained by artificial means".
A 28-year-old who was fatally shot at a gathering in north-east London has been named by police as Sam Brown.
Police were called to Cheney Row Park, Waltham Forest, just after midnight on Sunday to reports of shots being fired.
Soon afterwards, Mr Brown and another man turned up at an east London hospital.
Mr Brown, from Waltham Forest, later died of gunshot injuries, Met Police detectives said. The other man, aged in his 30s, had suffered stab injuries.
He was later discharged from hospital and has been arrested in connection with the incident.
Det Ch Insp Kelly Allen said: "My heart goes out to the family of Sam, who has lost his life in this reckless act of violence.
"I can assure them of my total dedication, and that of my team, to ensuring that they get justice."
Police believe there were 50 to 100 people gathered in and around Cheney Row Park at the time of the shooting.
'They deserve answers'
"I urgently need to speak with everyone who was at that event," Det Ch Insp Allen added.
"Even if you do not believe you saw anything significant, you need to come forward and speak with officers.
"There will have been footage and images captured at the event, and we need to see these.
"Please ensure that all such material is saved - we will provide a link for it to be uploaded shortly.
"To anyone considering whether or not to come forward to police, I ask you to put yourself in the position of the victim's grieving mother and father this morning. They deserve answers."
Liz Truss' team has accused Rishi Sunak of cosying up to China while he was chancellor after he pledged to impose curbs on Beijing and called it the "biggest long-term threat to Britain".
Mr Sunak has promised to close all 30 of China's Confucius Institutes in the UK in a major hardening of government policy on China if he became PM.
The institutes are funded by the Chinese government and are meant to be culture and language centres, but critics claim they are propaganda tools as relations between the West and China worsen.
Mr Sunak accused China of "stealing our technology and infiltrating our universities", while "propping up Putin's fascist invasion of Ukraine", bullying Taiwan and contravening human rights in Xinjiang and Hong Kong, as well as suppressing their currency to "continually rig the global economy in their favour.

He also pledged to lead the world in standing up to China's "technological aggression" by amending the Higher Education Bill to force British universities to disclose any foreign funding partnerships of more than £50,000.
Mr Sunak has also committed to reviewing all UK-Chinese research partnerships that could assist China technologically or have military applications, as well as expanding MI5's reach to provide greater support to British businesses and universities to counter alleged Chinese industrial espionage.

He said he would look at whether there is a need to prevent Chinese acquisitions of key British assets to address concerns about the scale of Chinese investment in key industries.
"I will stop China taking over our universities, and get British companies and public institutions the cyber-security they need," he said.
"And I will work with President Biden and other world leaders to transform the West's resilience to the threat China poses."

Sir Iain Duncan Smith, who backs Ms Truss and has been sanctioned by Beijing, said the "'tough on China' announcement is surprising" as he accused the Treasury, led by Mr Sunak, of pushing hard for an economic deal with China over the past two years despite major human rights' violations and increasing influence in UK universities.
He added: "After such a litany, I have one simple question, where have you been over the last two years?"
A spokesman for Ms Truss said she had "strengthened Britain's position on China" since becoming foreign secretary and "helped lead the international response to increased Chinese aggression", which would continue if she was PM.
Her team accused Mr Sunak of consistently being "soft" on China and of being backed by Beijing state media as they said The Global Times has "effectively endorsed" Mr Sunak as PM.
They added that Ms Truss pushed for projects such as the Sizewell C nuclear power station in Suffolk to not be dependent on Chinese companies and funding, and said if she was PM she would focus on tackling aggression seen by China and Russia.
The team provided a list of times she has spoken out about China's attempts to influence other countries and its "economic coercion".
Education Secretary James Cleverly told Times Radio Ms Truss, who he is supporting, has "been talking about this for a long time".
Sunak supporter and former foreign secretary Jeremy Hunt told Sky News he thought Mr Sunak was "right to call that out" in terms of his plan to ban Confucius Institutes and added that universities need to have "full freedom of speech".
Foreign Secretary Ms Truss, who continues to be more popular among Tory members, has promised to cut red tape and boost investment as part of her bid to defeat Mr Sunak.
Her latest campaign pledge would see brownfield sites and other locations being turned into "investment zones" - dubbed "full-fat free ports".
The zones would have a low-tax burden, reduced planning restrictions and regulations tailored on a case-by-case basis.
"As prime minister, I will be laser-focused on turbocharging business investment and delivering the economic growth our country desperately needs," Ms Truss said.
"We can't carry on allowing Whitehall to pick the winners and losers; like we've seen with the current freeport model."

Truss and Sunak get tough on migration
The plan could be seen as an attempt to overshadow Mr Sunak, who has been a big supporter of free ports since he was a backbench MP. He has positioned himself in the contest as the "common-sense Thatcherite" candidate.
In a think-tank report in 2016, before he became a cabinet minister, he said: "Brexit will provide the UK with new economic freedom, and the government should take the opportunity to create free ports across the nation."
And in what could be viewed as an implicit criticism of the former chancellor's record, Ms Truss said she would reform current government policy to "unleash the potential" of current free ports.
"By creating these new investment zones, we will finally prove to businesses that we're committed to their futures and incentivise them to stimulate the investment that will help deliver for hardworking people," she said.

Rishi Sunak pulls a pint
'Thatcherite cosplay'
Over the weekend, Mr Sunak revealed his 10-point plan to tackle illegal immigration, including placing a cap on refugee numbers each year.
Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer will use a speech in Liverpool on Monday to condemn the Conservative government's record over the last decade and to hit out at the "Thatcherite cosplay" from Mr Sunak and Ms Truss. Cosplay is normally when people dress up as characters from a film, book or video game.
He will say the priorities for the next Labour government will be "growth, growth, growth" and there will be "no magic money tree economics with us".

Firefighters have urged people to stop using barbecues and remove rubbish in open areas to help prevent fires in hot weather - as yet more blazes have broken out.
At least eight hectares of land were affected by a fire declared a major incident on Sunday, at Hankley Common, near Farnham in Surrey, which has previously been used to film part of the James Bond blockbuster Skyfall.
Crews are expected to remain at the scene through Monday.
And fire crews in London had also been battling wildfires - with blazes in Rammey Marsh in Enfield, Cranford Park in Hayes and Thamesmead, all described as "weather related".
Appealing to the public for help, London Fire Brigade urged people to cancel all planned barbecues, remove rubbish, especially glass, from grassland and dispose of cigarettes properly.
The service tweeted: "Please help us prevent further fires by cancelling all planned BBQs, removing rubbish especially glass from grassland & disposing cigarettes correctly. Our firefighters & control officers are doing a fantastic job in challenging conditions. Your co-operation will help us greatly."

Surrey Fire Service joined the call. It said: "Speak to young relatives about safety outdoors, pack a picnic instead of a BBQ, dispose of cigarettes and litter correctly."
Temperatures across the southeast of England reached 29C (84F) on Sunday, according to the Met Office.

Images of blackened ground were tweeted by the fire service after the Enfield grass fire at Rammey Marsh over an area of 20 hectares was brought under control.
Some 70 firefighters were sent to the grass fire in Cranford Park, Hayes, where around five hectares of grass and shrubland were alight and smoke spread across west London.
Big Jet TV, which live commentates on planes landing at Heathrow, said visibility was reduced at the airport, sharing a picture of a smoke covered runway from the nearby fire.
Meanwhile, in Thamesmead around 65 firefighters and the fire boat dealt with a grass fire on Defence Close.
That day, the fire service saw its busiest day since the Second World War as a result of the extreme temperatures, with crews attending 1,146 incidents on that day alone.
Holidaymakers travelled overnight to reach the Kent coast amid a third day of traffic chaos, despite the Port of Dover clearing its weekend backlog.
Border and ferry staff worked "through the night" to clear "huge volumes of tourist and freight traffic", so that services at Dover were finally able to "get back to normal by the early hours of Sunday morning", a port spokesperson said.
Port officials say they have processed 72,000 vehicles and 200 miles of traffic so far this weekend.
But a critical incident is still in place across Kent, alongside Operation Brock, with the AA claiming the worst congestion is now around the Eurotunnel terminal at Folkestone.

Highways England is warning of "severe delays", while drivers are reporting average speeds of just 5mph in some places.

Jack Cousens, head of roads policy of the at the AA, said: "Dover has now recovered, but Folkestone has become the hotspot of holiday hell.
"Drivers are now trying to find alternative routes down to the Eurotunnel terminal at J11a on the M20. Holidaymakers are trying to use the M2 and then find ways to 'drop down' into the A20 and the terminal via the back roads.

14-hour queues for Eurotunnel
Many trying to reach the Eurotunnel have reported setting off in the middle of the night in a bid to catch their trains. One passenger claimed they had to queue for 14 hours.
Stuart and Janet Harrison, who are travelling to their holiday home in Austria, said they weren't hopeful of making their train because of the queues.
"We originally considered flying and it's so expensive so we thought we'd drive," they told Sky News.
Another couple, Lucy and Nick, said they didn't bother arriving early, as queuing all day was inevitable anyway.
"We didn't come early. They're going to put us on today, so I don't think coming early makes any difference," Lucy said.
Asked who was to blame, she added: "This has happened because of Brexit hasn't it. We are very anti-Brexit. But we have to put up with it."

Passengers in the queue for Folkestone Eurotunnel
Sky News correspondent Sabah Choudhry, who is in Dover, confirmed that the queues around the port now appear to be much shorter.
"Passengers this morning have been told that their wait time is looking to be around two to three hours - so certainly some welcome news for parents with children," she said.
P&O Ferries tweeted this morning saying there are "currently no queues in or around the port", but still advised leaving two hours before check-in, with port officials also urging people to check with ferry companies before travel.

'It could take three hours to travel a mile'
Both border points say they are expecting fewer travellers today then Friday and Saturday.
The Eurotunnel is set for 7,000 cars - down on the 8,500 on Saturday, while at Dover 6,500 vehicles are expected, down significantly on the 10,000 the previous day.
The long delays have been blamed on slow border checks, Brexit, huge numbers of travellers setting out at the start of the British school summer holidays, as well as the usual flow of goods lorries.
The UK government had blamed a shortage of French border staff, and the French government had argued that passport checks were taking longer now that the UK is no longer part of the European Union.
On Friday, 8,500 cars were processed, but by lunchtime on Saturday, the number processed had already reached more than 17,000.
Natalie Chapman from haulier group Logistics UK said some lorry drivers have waited "in excess of 18 hours" to cross the Channel over the weekend.
Residents in Kent are also affected, unable to travel by car as they would normally due to the congestion.
UK claims lack of resources while French blame Brexit
French regional prefect Georges-François Leclerc was asked by BFM TV if French customs officers were to blame for the delays seen on Friday and Saturday.
He said they were not, adding: "The Port of Dover, which is a private port, found it easier to blame the French police."
UK Foreign Secretary Liz Truss, who is competing to replace Boris Johnson as prime minister, said: "This is a situation that has been caused by a lack of resource at the border.
"That is what the French authorities need to address and that is what I'm being very clear with them about."
Anneliese Dodds, Labour Party chair, said the government had failed "to get a grip" on the problem, labelling it "chaos".
Police are appealing for videos and pictures after a 28-year-old man died in a shooting during a gathering of up to 100 people.
Officers were called to Cheney Row Park in Waltham Forest shortly after midnight last night.
Soon afterwards, two men turned up at an east London hospital - one of them later died of gunshot wounds.
The other man, believed to be in his 30s, had suffered stab wounds. He has since been discharged from hospital and arrested in connection with the incident.
Det Chief Inspector Kelly Allen from the Metropolitan Police said: "My heart goes out to the family of the man who has lost his life in this reckless act of violence.
"I believe there were 50 to 100 people gathered in and around Cheney Row Park at the time of the shooting with music playing.
"I urgently need to speak with everyone who was at that event - even if you do not believe you saw anything significant, you need to come forward.

Holidaymakers and hauliers are being warned of another day of disruption at the Channel Tunnel and the Port of Dover after two days of gridlock.
Overnight, people reported sleeping in cars on the road as the approach to the Eurotunnel remained gridlocked.
One tired family said the last three miles of their journey took 21 hours.
In Dover on Sunday morning, traffic has eased and it is taking travellers one hour to get through passport control, P&O Ferries said.
However, National Highways said severe delays were still likely. The M20 motorway to the south coast is closed to cars from Maidstone to Folkestone because of Operation Brock, which sees lorries park on the road.
With the motorway shut, car drivers are being directed on to smaller roads which get jammed and cause miles of tailbacks.
The Kent Resilience Forum, which coordinates the county's emergency planning, said it has been sending food and drink to people stuck in traffic queues around Folkestone of several miles.
Andrew Dyer-Smith and his family, who are heading to France for their summer holiday, spent 21 hours in bumper-to-bumper traffic on roads around Folkestone.
"We arrived at Folkestone at 9am yesterday morning for a train at 10.30 and then have been slowly crawling along for the last 21-plus hours," he told BBC's Breakfast.
He said his children in the backseat were dishevelled but had managed to sleep a bit, while he and his wife had taken the wheel in shifts to snatch some sleep.
While speaking live to Breakfast, the family erupted in cheers as they were finally able to board the train.
'Worse than cattle'
John Keefe, director of public affairs for Eurotunnel, said he was confident the "bit we manage" - from check-in to departure - was working.
"The roads outside are beyond our remit. We're responsible for managing the service - it's the only place we have any responsibility, any authority," he said.
He said passengers were always told to turn up 30 minutes to two hours before departure to make sure they got on.
"We kept to that timing throughout the bulk of yesterday," he told BBC Radio 5 live.
But one frustrated listener said it took four hours to get on a train, on top of 15 hours trying to move five miles outside Folkestone.
"They left us on those roads - elderly, those with disabilities, families, children," she said.
"The children were getting into their pyjamas at the side of the road and brushing their teeth where every man, woman and child had been using the bathroom."
She added that all the queues on the A20 coming into the terminal were all Eurotunnel's passengers with no water, no facilities, nothing. "We were treated worse than cattle," she said.
Eurotunnel is expecting 7,000 cars to cross on Sunday, slightly down on the 8,500 cars on Saturday.
The Port of Dover is also expected to be busy with 6,500 cars due to make the crossing, down from 10,000 the previous day.
However, by mid-morning on Sunday, it said it had cleared the backlog of tourist passengers and was running as normal.
The Kent Resilience Forum said there were currently about 600 lorries parked on the M20 and it was confident the backlog would be cleared on Sunday.
Natalie Chapman, from haulier group Logistics UK, said some lorry drivers had waited to cross the Channel for "well over 18 hours" in queues with no toilet facilities.

A major incident was declared on Friday amid gridlocked routes around the Kent terminals and four-mile queues on the eastbound M2.
Kent County Council and the Road Haulage Association are urging the government to build more lorry parks to get heavy goods vehicles off the roads when there is cross-Channel disruption.
The Department for Transport said it was investing more than £30m to improve lorry-parking facilities in England.
The delays at Dover led to clashes between French and UK officials.
The UK government said French authorities had failed to find enough border staff to check passports, demanding they resolve the "terrible situation".
But French Transport Minister Clement Beaune hit back, saying France was not responsible for the additional border checks brought on by Brexit.
'A fractious seven-hour wait'
Holidaymaker Anna Parkinson took seven hours to travel two miles to the Eurotunnel terminal on Saturday - with three "fractious" children sitting in the back.
She said she felt for local residents who "currently can't leave their local villages because they're hemmed in by all of us desperately trying to get on the train that we should have caught five hours ago".
Jane Dennis, her husband and their five children, aged between three and 11, barely moved for six hours while trying to reach the Eurotunnel terminal.
Between around 07:00 and 13:00 they advanced roughly 70 metres before deciding to take a detour that friends had used.
She said the queues weren't being managed by anyone, but traffic was flowing more freely on the detour.
They eventually arrived in France 12 hours after setting off from home in Hampshire.
